The Suzan--you've played them before? Or someone here has? I love this "Home", and I remember this Japanese band getting some airtime recently.

Joe McG:
Yeah, I like 'em, Matt. They're coming to town on March 4, actually. I believe they're Chinese-American, but I'm not sure.

"The Suzan is a pop-rock band from Tokyo, Japan", or so says a Google result. I thought they were somewhere in Asia, so I just did a quick search to see what came up (psst--don't tell the comments board that A LOT of my "reporting" is unconfirmed, unvetted glances such as this!)

Any Alabamian listeners to comment on "Jim Bob and the Leisure Suits"?

A friend from school had a cat named Jim Bob, and I called his cat bed area "Jim Bob We"!

And yes--EFD would feel at home with this current set (although even more so, this year, if it was 1970 to 1979 material!)

I LOVED that Lame Drivers! No clue that was Jason Sigal!

Matt from Springfield:
This is a lot of comments in a row, but the Rip Rig and Panic album "Knee Deep In Hits" is funny--because they once had a song that was called that, except it was an anagram of that last word!

Matt from Springfield:
And thanks for "Denise"--I heard this since I was a little kid on my Dad's Oldies stations but didn't know anything about it. Now I know it was '63, know of the band Randy and the Rainbows, and Blondie's cover!

Could I get your number, Ramona?

wait i can't hear this PSA over the generator and pressure washer that i'm using inside my apartment right now.

Sun. 2/27/11 2:12am
Matt from Springfield:
Here's to the day when we take pressure washers into our homes!

This was one of your "greatest hits" Joe! I thought of the last time you did this PSA when I saw this recent letter to the editor on generator safety:

Andrew in Vic, Australia:
I love this, my first time listening to WMFU (I knew of it from the 365 Days Project)
^_^
I think Shooting Star is the only song I'd heard before. Good job!

Sun. 2/27/11 2:37am
Joe McG:
Thanks, man. That's my favorite album of the year so far. I have to keep myself from playing it every five minutes.

Sun. 2/27/11 2:39am
Matt from Springfield:
@Andrew: I also was into the 365 Days Project before I ever heard of WFMU--hearing it for the first time is like coming home, isn't it?

Sun. 2/27/11 2:46am
Matt from Springfield:
The funny thing is, I couldn't tell this was supposed to be "Don't Worry Kyoko" despite knowing the original well! I think the important part is to just be noisy with guitars and screaming!

Sun. 2/27/11 2:46am
Joe McG:
Don't worry, Coalhard, we'll be tugging!

Sun. 2/27/11 2:47am
Matt from Springfield:
@CH: What color is the string? If I see a loose string of that color, I'll give it a tug and remind you of the marathon!

@Joe: You got Irwin beat on this one--kids' covers are normally his department. Usually obnoxious or incorrect covers, but he's played some pretty good kids vocals before.
